The Blackpool wideman, who has scored 13 goals in 26 Championship appearances this season, has been strongly linked with a January move back to Anfield.

And, whilst McParland remained coy over whether the 20-year-old is a target for Brendan Rodgers, he had kind words for the winger.

“The first team is not really my domain and there’s a lot of paper talk on so many players,” he told Goal.com.

“I don’t know whether the first team are interested in Tom Ince or not but he is a good player. He did great when he was here, he’s a really good kid and we wish him well wherever he’s going to be.”

Goal.com exclusively revealed that Liverpool youngster Michael Ngoo is set for a loan spell with Hearts, while the agent of Jack Butland feels that his current club Birmingham are pricing the Reds out of a move for the goalkeeper.
